选项
答案Since the industrial revolution in the 1790s, the economies in industrialized countries have been based on the burning of fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. There is no denying the fact that air pollution is an extremely serious problem: the city authorities should take strong measures to deal with it. One of the environmental problems is the global warming caused by this. The use of CFCs also adds to the warming problem. It also depletes the ozone layer which protects us from damaging UV rays. Therefore, it is safe to say that most of the environmental problems in the world have been caused by industrialized countries. Take America for instance. It is consuming disproportionately large amounts of resources and adding comparable amounts of waste to the environment. However, in the last one hundred years or so, Western people’s awareness of environmental problems has been growing. So have science and technology to overcome environmental problems. London is not a foggy city anymore, and the Danube River is cleaner than before. Developing countries, on the other hand, are catching up, both in lifestyles and in their share of environmental damage. These countries typically have larger populations and lower levels of conservation consciousness. When industries develop, it has substantial effect on the world’s environment. There have been bad cases of the poisoning of people and extinction of animal species because of pollution. Though developing countries are causing more and more of the world’s environmental problems, their wish for a better life and their measures for fulfilling the wish should not be inhibited. A latest nationwide survey shows that primary and middle school students have a stronger sense of environmental protection than their parents do. They should be given allowances to increase their awareness of environmental issues and their abilities to make a cleaner environment.
解析     文章首先指出发达国家在工业化进程中对于二氧化碳和CFCs的排放问题，原则上同意声明书，但马上又提到发达国家在环保意识和技术方面的进步以及成就。这种说法比较客观、公正。文章第三段指出发展中国家人口多，环境意识差，又迫切需要发展，因而出现了一些环保问题。最后指出，要给发展中国家时间，提高其环保意识并积极采取环保措。此文段落清晰，层次分明，有论有据，具有说服力。
